THE RULES OF WORK (selar.co/m/nbmshop)

I first started formulating The Rules of Work many, many years

ago when I was an assistant manager. There was a promotion

going for the next step up—manager. There were two possible

candidates, myself and Rob. On paper I had more experience,

more expertise, most of the staff wanted me as their manager,

and I generally knew the new job better. Rob, to be honest,

was useless.

I was chatting with an outside consultant the company used

and asked him what he thought my chances were. “Slim,” he

replied. I was indignant. I explained all about my experience,

my expertise, my superior abilities. “Yep,” he replied, “but you

don’t walk like a manager.” “And Rob does?” “Yep, that’s about

the strength of it.” Needless to say he was quite right, and Rob

got the job. I had to work under a moron. But a moron who

walked right. I studied that walk very carefully.

The consultant was spot on—there was a manager’s walk. I

began to notice that every employee, every job, everyone in

fact, had their walk. Receptionists walked in a particular way,

as did the cashiers, the catering staff, the office workers, the

admin, the security staff—and the managers, of course.

Secretly, I began to practice the walk.
